Paris, Sept. 9.The allied army is
on the offensive on the west of the
long battle line.
Heavily reinforced by reserves
rushed from the south the army of
General d'Amade, co-operating with a
strong British force, is making a fierce
effort to turn the German right flank.
The Germans under General von
Kluk are outnumbered and are report
ed to be giving ground slowly. The
French movement to succeed, how
ever, must be completed before the
army of General von Buelow, now be
ing rushed to the rescue, arrives.
General French is said to be in com
mand of the offensive movement,
which is believed to be participated in
by neariy the entire British expedi
tionary army and the French Seventh
army corps.
The allies are on the offensive at
Presby-sur-Oise and at Nanteuil-Hau
doin, twenty miles to the northeast,
and it is stated at General Gallieni's
headquarters that the German right
hss been driven back more than for
ty miles.
Germans Strongly Entrenched.
The Germans are reported to br
strongly intrenched and to be utilir
ing to the utmost their machine gun
and their light field artillery.
Jf Von Buelow's army can arrivt
before the German right is pierced
the great numerical advantage now
held by the allies would in turn be
transferred to the Germans and they
would immediately assume the offen
sive.
The Germans are pounding the
French center with an enormoiife
force. The combined armies of Grand
Duke Albrecht, Crown Prince Fred
Brick William and General von Han
sen are endeavoring to break through
In the territory at the headquarters
the Somme.
The Germans seem content, accord
ing to reports from the front, to hold
the French right and prevent a flank
ing movement from the east.
It is plain the Germans have staked
everything on the outcome of this
fight. If they break through in the
center the French army will be divid
ed and its effectiveness materially
lessened. TERMONDE IS EVACUATED
Germans Said to Have Left Belgian
City.
Paris, Sept. 9.A dispatch from
Antwerp to the Havas agency states
that Termonde, sixteen miles from
Ghent, was evacuated by the Ger
mans, who lighted several fires be
fore retiring. They also blew up a
bridge over the River Bscaut to the
north, seeming to renoun&te for the
moment their intrusion into the coun
try of the Waes district. Afterward
they directed an attack, the dispatch
says, against the southwest front po
sition of the Antwerp army and were
repulsed.
Balkan Situation Improves.
London, Sept. 9.An Athens dis
patch to the Times states that the
Russian victories over Austria ap
pear to have cleared the air some
what in the Balkans, although the
danger of ^complications cannot be
said to have entirely passed. The pop
ular press believes the Russian vic
tories assure the neutrality of Turkey
and Bulgaria.
RUSSIAN OFFENSIVE
MGYES SUCCESSFULLY
Paris, Sept. 9.An official state
ment says Russian cavalrymen are on
the crest of the Carpathian mountains
and that the Russian offensive against
the Austrians in Galicia continues suc
cessfully. The Austrian fort at Nico
laieff, about twenty-five miles south
west of Lemberg, has been captured
by the Russians. The Austrians re
treated, abandoning their supply
trains. The Russians took many
prisoners and captured forty guns and
great quantities of ammunition.

River San is now declared to Lo hold
by the Russians and they are report
ed to have crossed the an in great
force south of Przemysl and to be
marching northward to attack that,
city and Jarsolay in both front and
rear.
It is the intention of the Russian
general staff to take these positions
as soon as possible, so that a general
movement northward against the
remnants of the Austrian army can
be begun.
The Austrian armies of General
Moritz von Auffenberg, former Aus
trian minister of war, and General
Dankl are reported as almost com
pletely surrounded by a vastly su
perior Russian force. Their surren
der is looked for.
They are now penned in Northern
Galicia and in Russian Poland near
Kraznik and Zamic, being attacked
from the front by a Russian army to
taling nearly 400,000 men, with more
than 1,000-guns. Second Army Advancing.
In addition, another strong Russian
army is advancing from the south
east to attack the Austrians and their
German reinforcements from the
flank.
But it is not alone the Russian
army that the Austrians are fighting.
Their sanitary arrangements have
been very bad, it is said, and an
epidemic of disease is reported as
ravaging the troops.
Thousands of Austrians have died
of dysentery and many of the Aus
trian prisoners are suffering from the
dread disease, it is said. Austrian
prisoners, as well as wounded, have
been isolated.
Secret agents' report Vienna is be
ing prepared for a siege. Thousands
of men have been put to work
strengthening the Vienna defenses
and a new line of intrenchments is
being completed around the city.
Heavy guns are being mounted and
the natural advantages of the Hty
are being utilized to every possible
extent. The Russians are advancing
through the entire territory between
the Vistula and the Bug rivers. The
Russians, as a result of the mobility
of the Cossack cavalry, have been
able to command the passes between
the Carpathian mountains. This will
open the way for an advance into
Hungary along the direct road to
Budapest.

tribute to the new Democratic gov
ernor of the islands, Francis Bur
ton Harrison. He declared that dur
ing the Taft administration "the
government here was out of sympa
thy with the people, where as he,
(Harrison) has brought it into sym
pathy with them."
Science is suffering at the hands
of Mr. Denison's administration, but
the Filipino people are getting the
benefit.^ Recently he was asked to
approve the expenditure of 500 pesos
for photographing the ocean mol
luscs of the islands.
Saves Them Money.
"I had just returned from the
Mountain Province," he told the City
elub, "where I found a great demand
for school teachers and no money to
provide them. Should I spend 500
pesos for photographs or should I
spend it for a school teacher. I am
not unaware that the scientific world
would prefer the photographs, but
can there be any doubt that my duty
was to spend the money for the Fili
pinos?" Mr. Denison also refused
to spend 14,000 pesos for an eth
research in the habits of
the non-Christian tribes, using this
money to hire school teachers, doc
tors and nurses. "If the outside
world finds itself in peremptory need
of this ethnological knowledge it may
possibly be able to find the money
somewhere except in the pockets of
the Filipinos," he said.
Wanted Teachers.
The annual visits of the secretary
of the interior to the native villages
are the occasions of great feasts, ac
cording to the native customs. It is
the duty of the secretary to provide
meat for these feasts. At one vil
lage he said: "The meat for this
canao (feast) costs as much as a doc
tor, or two school teachers, or dyna
mite for irrigation ditches. Which
do you prefer?" And the native po
pulation voted absolutely unani
mously for school teachers.
At another point the petty native
officers were clamoring for salaries.
Denison put it up to them: salaries
or school teachers. To a man they
asked for school teachers rather than
for money for themselves.
